080fd6ee-3ef9-4fac-9a27-325016259716 < Back Advanced Practitioner Advanced Practitioners are an integral part of the 21st century NHS workforce as new models of care are transforming the way patients are treated. Advanced Practitioners work at level 7 across the four pillars of advanced practice – clinical, management & leadership, research & education, and offer multiple benefits to the health service and the population. They bring more holistic care to patients, support continuity of care and extend the scope of practice across traditional boundaries. This leads in turn to a greater focus on prevention, more personalised care, a more efficient team, a faster response to patient needs and better outcomes. They are instrumental in supervising the multi-professional team in primary care, they attract and lead research and audits, and manage highly complex high-risk patients. They have a leadership role in the ICS around pathways and population health. www.hee.nhs.uk Welcome - Advanced Practice Building a recognised and visible advanced practitioner workforce is a priority for the NHS; there is a clear and identified need for highly experienced clinicians who are trained to an advanced level of practice.

Clinical Excellence Award < Back Jake Riley Clinical Excellence Award Winner "I am writing to nominate Jake Riley, a dedicated nurse leading the newly developed Mental Health Living Well team in Pennines, for the clinical excellence award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to mental health care and team leadership. Jake has been at the forefront of this new service for the past six months, guiding it from its inception to a robust and highly effective support system for individuals struggling with mental health issues. His exceptional ability to connect with and support these individuals is truly remarkable. He demonstrates deep compassion and unwavering dedication, ensuring that each person he works with feels heard, valued, and supported. Jake’s leadership skills are equally impressive. He fosters a collaborative and inclusive work environment, bringing the team together with his positive energy and open communication. He is always available to support his colleagues, offering guidance and encouragement whenever needed. His efforts have not only strengthened the team but also enhanced the quality of care provided to our community. His commitment to going above and beyond in his role is evident in his daily actions. Whether it’s spending extra time with a patient in need, developing new initiatives to improve service delivery, or simply being a reliable and supportive colleague, Jake embodies the qualities of an exceptional nurse and leader. I wholeheartedly believe that Jake deserves to be recognised for his extraordinary contributions to our community and the field of mental health. His dedication, compassion, and leadership make him an exemplary candidate for this award." A huge well done to our SMHP Jake and team for the immense efforts and dedication with integrating the new Mental Health Living Well Service model for the patients of Pennines PCN. This is an invaluable service which has provided a huge amount of capacity in an area which our GP Practices alone could not match the demand. Your service has not only proven its benefit with our patients, but has massively relieved the strain on our general practitioners and GP Practice staff.

5 Back Healey Dell Nature Reserve Only a couple of miles from Rochdale town centre, Healey Dell is in dense woodland on the tight banks of the tumbling River Spodden. Here the river has hewn a sharp gorge, and bubbles over rapids and waterfalls that once drove, corn, wool and cotton mills. Best of all though is the Victorian viaduct spanning the gorge. This was built in 1867 for a long-defunct railway and is a fantastic viewpoint 30 metres over the river. Faint traces of industrial archaeology await along the river at what’s left of the Broadley Wood Mill, Stone Rubbing Mill and Th’Owd Mill l’th Thrutch. Previous Next

Primary Care Academy Team < Back Dawn O'Brien Primary Care Academy Team PCA Manager I am the Manager of Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale Primary Care Academy. I started my career in the NHS 16 years ago working as a receptionist for a GP surgery in Hyde. After 5 years I then moved to an administrator role in the NHS working with a children’s team. After 7 years I then moved to Tameside Hospital as part of the Foundation Team working with junior doctors and their education and I was then offered a post setting up the new Enhanced Training Programme which was to look at the introduction of new roles within Primary Care and developing placements for undergraduate students with a view to encouraging them to consider a career in Primary Care. In July 2018 I was offered the opportunity to become the Manager of the HMR Primary Care Academy working with the wonderful Dr Gill Tonge and Rochdale Health Alliance, developing a team that will hopefully help change Primary Care across HMR! I have a passion for education and feel that with the team we are building then the Academy will go from strength to strength. I am also mum to two wonderful children (most of the time), myself and my partner (Andy) are also foster parents to two other children and have fostered for 7 years, we recently added to the chaos with our adorable Morkie puppy Maggie. We enjoy walking and looking for dog-friendly places to take Maggie Moo to explore!
